Freedom from discrimination and equality of opportunity are basic rights
Welcome to our equality, diversity and inclusion website
In these pages we outline the commitments that Devon County Council has made to eliminating discrimination, challenging prejudice and advancing equality, and the progress that we’re making towards these.
We also provide a wide range of guidance for staff, partners and community groups on what is meant by equality, diversity and inclusivity, what the protected characteristics are, and what the law entails.
The information on these pages is managed by the equality, diversity and inclusion team.
